It would be the same as a normal room, they (we) will have our own qualifying and own race and then after the race the overall results will be determined by the time it took to complete the race.
I do not like the idea, feels like racing against ghosts.
Also, this should be a League decision, not just 1 person or 2. Its good to hear what everyone else thinks of it.
My suggestion:
The 12 best placed drivers in the last season final standings, between the ones who book a place in the new one, automatically qualify.
The remain must to enter in a qualify, run in a separate room simultaneously with the race day´s practice session for the main room, to determine the 4 remain drivers (or more, depends how many automatically qualified drivers appear in the main room) who will enter the race.
You can change the automatically qualified drivers:
At every race, for the 12 best placed in the previous race.
Or for the 12 best placed in the current championship at...
...every race.
...every 3 races.
...middle of season.
I think the best 16 drivers should drive in our F1 KING Class.
We are talking here about a league, where you ONLY can drive when you are able to handle such a car.
I am against two rooms...ONLY the best drivers and some reserve drivers MUST have the right to drive.
More or less what i mean...
Last season we had so many drivers who did not show up even if they signed up.
Meanwhile our league is quite known and I don t want to have drivers who show up ONLY from time to time.
I think you must to learn to live with that reality, mate, because people have their lives and this is a hobby,...so many things in the way...
